The future is always a vision we look to that changes the perception of our current reality. We see obstacles as challenges rather than stumbling blocks and problems come as a game of not just finding the best solution of the moment but one that is lasting. The future in this sense looks so clean and untarnished because we understand that what is in front of us then and there is not always going to be so. When the challenges are overcome, that place we envisioned ourselves in feels so much sweeter when it is finally met. It brings a joy that cannot be matched by anything else when we open our eyes and realize we are exactly where we thought of being.

In H.E. by Mango’s August 2014 lookbook, we are given an opportunity to look forward. Slight updates to classic looks modeled by Florian Van Bael for the first waves of Fall are the focus. The functionality of this collection will be sure to serve us well in handling whatever life has to throw at us. Accessories and layering pieces are essential parts of the wardrobe to keep you at the top of your game. You can play hard while making it look like you’re playing it safe in a fashionable and modern manner.

Life isn’t always easy, but you can make it less troublesome by thinking smarter about what you put on your back and what you do with your mind.
